Malangal Leaf !!

Guess what's on the label ?!


[Click on the picture for enlarged view]

This green variety is not so commonly available in stores but when i purchased it, i seriously lost appetite of eating this keerai just 'coz of it's name !

Anyways, the botanical name for Murungai maram is Moringa Oleifera
